[Verse]
A
I never liked baseball
D
But I always ended up on the team
A
I wasn't drawn to the girls
D
In the Sports Illustrated Magazine
[Bridge]
A
And when push came to shove
I hid who I was
D
Under lock and key
A
I built a whole man
I didn't understand
D E
And people called him me
[Chorus]
D A
Push it down and play it safe
E F#m
Get in line or get away
D A E F#m
You did what you had to do to make it through the day
E D A
And now my life is a series of confrontations
E F#m E
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
D A E
On my search for who I was meant to be
F#m E
Who I was meant to be
[Verse]
A
I was in touch with my emotions
D
But no one could еver know it but me
A
How could I evеr be respected
D
If somebody else perceives me as weak?
[Bridge]
A
So when push came to shove
I lived in disgust
D
Under lock and key
A
I built a whole man
I didn't understand
D E
And people called him me
[Chorus]
D A
Push it down and play it safe
E F#m
Get in line or get away
D A E
You did what you had to do to make it through the day
F#m E D A
And now my life is a series of confrontations
E F#m E
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
D A E
On my search for who I was meant to be
F#m E D
Who I was meant to be
D A E F#m
You'll never know if you don't let go
D A E F#m
You'll never know if you don't let go
[Bridge]
D A
Push it down and play it safe
E F#m
Get in line or get away
D A B E
You did what you had to do to make it through the day
[Chorus]
D A
And now my life is a series of confrontations
E F#m
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
D A E
On my search for who I was meant to be
F#m D
Who I was meant to be
F#m E D
Who I was meant to be
